Help with http post

Hi
I am trying to do to a http post put i am not succeeding in doing this. I keep getting this error WIP_CERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
I get WIP_CEV_OPEN then WIP_CEV_WRITE events and then the error occurs
Here is my code

What am i doing wrong?

  • What function does return CERR_INVALID?
  • Have you got traces?

Here is the trace
Trace IP 20 ftp_gprsBearerHandler event
Trace IP 20 2
Trace IP 20 HTTP_SendRequest()
Trace IP 20 HTTP_hdl_c()
Trace IP 20 HTTP_hdl_c(): WIP_CEV_OPEN
Trace IP 20 HTTP_hdl_c()

Trace IP 20 wip_write ret: -998
Trace IP 20 HTTP_hdl_c()
Trace IP 20 HTTP_hdl_c(): WIP_CEV_ERROR

Have you looked-up the meaning of that error code in the WIP Manual?

in HTTP, wip_HTTPClientCreateOpts() creates a connection, not a request. So you must:

  • create the connection channel
  • create a request channel, by performing a wip_getFile() or wip_putFile() on the connection
  • perform read/write operations on the request.

Ok i have managed to post some data put i still not am fully satisfied
Here is what i do

So what i was doing wrong is that i was trying to use the connection channel instead of the request channel when i was doing the actual request.
So thanks guys for the help.
I still have some problems when closing the connection. After i do wip_write i do shutdown and i get the WIP_CEV_READ event and the return code 200 (at this point the data appears on the site) This is the trace

Trace IP 20 HTTP_SendRequest()
Trace IP 20 HTTP_hdl_c()
Trace IP 20 HTTP_hdl_c(): WIP_CEV_OPEN
Trace IP 20 HTTP_hdl_c()
Trace IP 20 HTTP_hdl_c(): WIP_CEV_WRITE
Trace IP 20 wip_write ret: 25
Trace IP 20 wip_shutdown ret: 0
Trace IP 20 HTTP_hdl_c()
Trace IP 20 HTTP_hdl_c(): WIP_CEV_READ
Trace IP 20 return code is 200

At this point i would like to close all the connections if i do wip_shutdown(http_channel_comm,FALSE,TRUE); again i get wip_cerr_cstate -999 (the channel is not in WIP_CSTATE_READY state) if i do wip_close(http_channel_pers) i get the return code 0 (OK) but after that i get WIP_CEV_ERROR event
So my question is how do i close all the channels right after completing the http post? (from what i figured i need to wait for code 200 after post so i can see the data on the site)

I need to close all the connections because i do the posting in a loop so if i keep looping i figure that the channel created wip_HTTPClientCreateOpts is left just hanging around and with each loop i do a new one until i get WIP_CEV_ERROR a and Can’t create socket: error -39

Ok i figured it out. You call wip_shutdown when you sent all the data, this will cause to wip_cev_read event if the code is 200 then you can close everything like this

ret=wip_close(http_channel_comm);
TRACE((TRACE_LEVEL_FTP, “wip_close ret: %d”, ret));
ret=wip_close(http_channel_pers);
TRACE((TRACE_LEVEL_FTP, “wip_close ret: %d”, ret));

wip_close() will do the shutdown for you if you didn’t already request it.
